About Hillside Residences 1
Low-Rise Design Concept
Hillside Residences is a low-rise residential development of four buildings totalling 235 units within the Wasl Gate master community. The scheme is structured as B+G+5/6/8/9 concrete-and-block construction with internal and external finishes, arranged across three landscaped podiums referred to as Hill 1, Hill 2 and Hill 3.
The unit mix spans 1 and 3-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom duplexes, 3-bedroom duplexes, penthouses and 4-bedroom sky villas, giving buyers a range of layouts from compact starter homes to full-floor family residences within the same community.
Amenities & Podium Layout
Each of the three podiums (Hill 1: Wayfinding Gardens, Hill 2: Central Community, Hill 3: Sports & Wellness) is landscaped with its own set of shared facilities, including horizon pools, kids pools, BBQ areas, shaded courtyards, table tennis courts and outdoor fitness zones, connected to one another by pedestrian bridges.
Hill 3 additionally features a basketball court and a climbing wall, while Hill 1 and Hill 2 focus on pool decks, social lawns and pavilion seating, giving residents access to a broad spread of recreational spaces without leaving the development.
Wasl Gate Community Context
The development sits inside Wasl Gate, a freehold master community developed by wasl that combines apartments, townhouses, retail and dining. Residents of Hillside Residences have direct access to the community's Central Park and Festival Plaza Mall, operated by Al Futtaim and anchoring a new IKEA and ACE store in south Dubai.
Wasl's broader portfolio spans over 50,000 residential and commercial units, more than 7,960 hotel rooms across 32-plus hotels and hotel apartments, and four community malls, positioning Wasl Gate as one of its flagship freehold projects.
Investment Case
As a project still in early construction, at roughly 2.6% completion as of its recorded status, Hillside Residences offers entry at the ground floor of a master community backed by wasl's established development track record. The diversity of unit typologies, from 1-bedroom apartments through to 4-bedroom sky villas, allows the project to serve both end-users and investors targeting different rental brackets within south Dubai's growing residential corridor.
